Should you wait for the PS3?

well this stinks of sony trying yet again to dominate a medium used by general consumers.. first betamax then minidisc and memory sticks.. sure there've been others inbetween...

blu-ray does have an impressive array of members/backers though..

Trauma-san:
In MY OPINION, and I could be full of shit, Sony is in trouble.  Their company is hemmoraging money, and the PS3 will lose ground over the 360.  I don't know if it'll be enough to push sony to 2nd place, but I think their clear dominance of the market is over.  I see their price as being a huge problem.  I don't see them coming in at 399, and 399 is pushing it for a system in my opinion.  Neo Geo nearly went bankrupt selling theirs for 500 bucks and it was vastly superior than everything else out at the time.  In years past everybody could buy the ps2 and the xbox and whatever the hell came out, but now talking with people a lot of people are making noise about the 360 being 400 bucks.  Sony's gonna push it over even that and I think it'll severely hurt sells.  On TOP of that, everyone they sell they lose their ass on.  I know that's been an effective strategy in the past, but it's NOT intelligent business, and they're losing more than ever on the ps3, even with the high pricepoint.

xbox would be smart to lower the price on the 360 as soon as the sony pS3 drops that would be a great marketing move 4 them

Don Seer:

they prob will... i mean if the first PS3s will hit japan mid summer and the rest of the world by this time next year.. Xbox 360 will have had a year of "wow time".. and PS3.. although technically _slightly_ ahead of xbox. won't wow as much as xbox360 versus the last generation...

also.. from many reports ps3 will likely come out priced higher than the xbox360 launch price

another thing.. it normally takes developers a while to really push the power of a console... xbox360 games will be pushing better performance by the time ps3 drops.. whereas ps3 will be untamed just like how the first batch of xbox360 titles dont use the full potential of the console right now.

plus.. something i keep plugging.. MS gives developers better tools making it easier for them to get more from the console quicker..


i believe MS has done a lot right this time around.. but we'll see. just remember they are pretty much expert at infiltrating market sectors and dominating.. its gotten them in trouble and brought the hate because they're so adept at it.
